Help! Has anyone had experience with pigs having seizures? Geronimo has started having seizures; he goes into this crazy violent roll. It seems that he does it after he's been handled and gets stressed out. He's fine in his cage, and when he comes out of the seizure he acts as if nothing has happened; he's also eating and drinking normally, although his incisors are wearing down at an angle.
   
  He's going in to the vet's office tomorrow at 7 a.m. EST and they are going to put him under anesthesia to check his teeth and ears, draw blood for a blood panel, and do x-rays on his head. Normally, they wouldn't anesthetize him for these tests, but since the seizures seem somehow stress-related they feel it would be safer for him.The vet says it could be something as simple as an ear infection or something as complicated as a brain lesion.
  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow.
